    MEETING BETWEEN PRESIDENT, OPPOSITION LEADER MAY EASE PUBLIC

    Interfax News Agency, Russia
    April 30 2008

    The leader of the Heritage opposition party, Armenian ex-foreign
    minister Raffi Ovannisian sad he is not giving up in trying to arrange
    a meeting between the country's president, Serzh Sargsian, and the
    opposition leader, former Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrosian.

    "Talks between Armenian President Serzh Sargsian and ex-president
    Levon Ter-Petrosian will become one of the ways of resolving the
    crisis in Armenia," Ovannisian told a press conference on Wednesday.

    "I am ready to continue efforts to organize such a meeting, however
    it remains up to them, and they themselves must want to hold such a
    meeting," he said.

    Earlier Ovannisian tried to organize the meeting between Sargsian and
    Ter-Petrosian by sending them letters. The response came only from
    the ex-president who said he was ready for a meeting. No answer was
    received from Sargsian.

    The Armenian opposition rejects the results of the presidential
    election held on February 19. Ter-Petrosian's supporters are going to
    bring the case before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
